Thanks for the warm welcomes!

P.S. Do you go on RFUK (Reptile Forums)?

Yes a few of us are members of RFUK......I'm Sweetcorn on there

Ahh, you have cresties
I'm Tommy123
Hoping to get into the worl of betta's. I'm only wanting a single one, and the smallest tank, as I have limited space, so what would be the smallest tank?
Thanks

3g / 15l very min but 5g is alot better by the time you get filter heater substance andplants in :]

Hey, that sounds great.
Just been reading on another forum about fish. Not sure if you talk about other sort of fish here [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
But I saw someone said that WCM(White cloud minnows) were coldwater? Is this true? If so, what size tank?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to get it right!
Thanks,
Tom

I thought it was you when you asked lol Yes I have lots of cresties too.

You'll find we have a reptile section here too

For a small tank the Aquastart 320s are very nice and compact. Would be an ideal starter tank for a Betta

yh theres a few diffrent forums on here for all diffrent fish. wcmm are coldwater they prefer to live between 15-20C but can still live a good life at about 25C but i think they dont live for aslong the hotter the water. they really wouldnt like it at 27-28C which bettas like.

We do have other fish sections here

Hello

Hi Tommy, you are off to a good start by asking lots of questions, I should have done that before, live and learn!

Welcome to the forum Tommy.

If you have a Pets At Home near you then check out their Clearseal tanks. They're pretty basic to look at but a 6gallon comes in at £20 which frees up some money for filter, heater etc. etc. Worth a looky.

Hello Tommy,
Welcome! I joined a couple days ago, I am also twelve and I am very excited to be starting my first betta sorority tank tomorrow! I have had 2 male bettas, and 2 females in the past, and now have one female named Echo who will be a part of my sorority tank. To answer your question, a 2.5 gallon tank is the bare minimum, but like someone else said, a 5 gallon is much better once you get a filter, plants, bubbler, etc. Best of luck!
